Additive inverse is $0.125$ $0.125$ and multiplicative inverse is $- 8$ $-8$ .

Explanation:

Additive inverse of a number $x$ $x$ is the number, which when added to it gives $0$ $0$ (the additive identity).

Hence additive inverse of $- 0.125$ $-0.125$ is $0.125$ $0.125$ .

Multipicative inverse of a number $x$ $x$ is the number, which when multiplied by it gives $1$ $1$ (the multiplicative identity).

Hence multiplicative inverse of $- 0.125$ $-0.125$ is $\frac{1}{- 0.125} = - \frac{1000}{125} = - 8$ $1/(-0.125)=-1000/125=-8$ .

Note : $0$ $0$ is additive identity as when added to any number, it results in the same number. $1$ $1$ is multiplicative identity as when multiplied with any number, it results in the same number.
